Il kybalion. Uno studio della filosofia ermetica dell'antico Egitto e della Grecia

This is NOT a book on magic (as in the description from goodreads). It explains the "science" of spirit or "All-That-Is". It resonated with me, and from it my interest in hermetic philosophy was ignited.

This stands as one of the most important books I've read about the nature of reality and the supersensible universe.

This is by no means the be-all/end-all philosophical approach to alter your life...but results may vary for other users. The book does a good job at listing and explaining the seven Hermeti Leggi tutto

This book was written in the early 20th century and while it argues the validity of its teachings on the basis of a misinterpreted view of the antiquity of Hermes Trismegistus's writings, it is still interesting and applicable philosophically. Hermeticism in general took a hit when it was realized h Leggi tutto

I read most of the book and I won't waste another goddamn second on this sorry excuse of wasted ink. If Hermes Trismegistus reincarnates now and reads this "work" he would stab himself to death.
